  • a simple paste obtained by mixing calcium hydroxide with polyethylene glycol 400 is disclosed by Zelante et al. (Revista de Odontologia da UNESP 21, 37-46 (1992 )).
  • Ulyssea et al. discloses the use of barium sulphate as the radio opacifier in a 1:4 ratio with the calcium hydroxide powder.

  • Temporary root canal sealers are used for temporarily obturating a root canal cavity formed upon extraction of dental pulp and/or root canal tissue.
  • the temporary root canal sealer composition solidifies in the root canal usually by drying. Since the solidified temporary root canal sealer composition is eventually removed from the root canal and replaced by a permanent obturation, easy removal of the temporary root canal sealer from the root canal by dissolving the solidified sealer composition is essential. Accordingly, the components of a temporary root canal sealer compositions should not undergo chemical crosslinking reactions.
  • the strongly alkaline medium present in a root canal sealer composition may deteriorate components in the composition due to hydrolysis or condensation reactions as well as other reaction pathways. Accordingly, the storage stability problem is further aggravated due the harsh pH conditions present in a temporary root canal sealer composition.
  • the present invention additionally provides a process for the preparation of a temporary root comprising
  • the present invention is based on the recognition that a combination of a water-soluble polymer having an average molecular weight of from 5000 to 100,000, and an alkali resistant particulate filler having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 nm provides a stable aqueous dispersion which efficiently stabilizes a dispersion of a particulate inorganic radio opaque filler over a long period of time even when the density of the filler is high such as in case of the calcium tungstate.
  • a water-soluble polymer having an average molecular weight of from 5000 to 100,000, and an alkali resistant particulate filler having an average particle size of from 1 to 100 nm provides an aqueous dispersion which has a high in-use stability of up to 6 hours.

  • the present invention relates to a temporary root canal sealer composition.
  • the temporary root canal sealer composition of the invention is in the form of a dispersion.
  • a dispersing phase and a dispersed phase are present.
  • the particulate inorganic radio opaque filler forms part of the dispersed phase.
  • a root canal sealer and, in particular, a temporary root canal sealer dispersion depend on many factors, but general trends can be seen between the composition of the aqueous dispersion medium and the temporary root canal sealer dispersion properties. Since the trends are not necessarily linear and there are many interactions, trends should not be extrapolated too far from known points.
  • a change of most components in an aqueous dispersion medium affects the degree to which the dispersed phase may be incorporated therein and, hence, amongst other properties, affects the radio-opacity, viscosity, homogeneity and consistency of the temporary root canal sealer dispersion in some way. The following trends are observed in analysis of the aqueous dispersion medium and the properties of the resulting temporary root canal sealer dispersions.
  • the temporary root canal sealer composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition, 0.5 to 40 wt%, preferably 25 to 35 wt%, of a water-soluble polymer having an average molecular weight of from 5000 to 100,000.
  • the water-soluble polymer is preferably selected from polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
  • the water-soluble polymer may be used as a mixture of two or more polymers.
  • the water-soluble polymer is polyethylene glycol.
  • the use of the water-soluble polymer, in particular polyethylene glycol allows the radio-opaque filler to be dispersed in the composition in considerable amounts without affecting the stability of the temporary root-canal sealer composition such that the radio-opaque filler precipitates therefrom.
  • the temporary root canal sealer composition is insufficiently plastic as to be effective for sealing and the sealer separates due to the high density of the radio-opaque filler. Moreover, if a lower weight percent of water-soluble polymer is employed in the composition, the consistency and homogeneity of the resulting temporary root canal sealer composition is decreased, such that the composition is likewise rendered unsuitable for use as a root canal sealer. The reduced plasticity, consistency and homogeneity also render such composition ineffective as visualizing agents for use in combination with X-ray radiation.
  • the remaining components thereof are effectively diluted, such that the radio-opacity of the dispersion is likewise reduced.
  • the polyethylene glycol of the temporary root canal sealer has an average molecular weight of from 5000 to 100,000.
  • the polyethylene glycol has an average molecular weight of from 6000 to 10,000.
  • the viscosity of the composition is so high that it not only prevents formation of a consistent temporary root canal sealer composition, but also prevents the radio opaque filler from being incorporated therein.
  • the viscosity of the temporary root canal sealer composition is so low that the radio opaque filler settles out of the composition, particularly when dense radio opaque fillers are employed in an increased weight percent based on the total amount of the composition.
  • the viscosity of the temporary root canal sealer composition is so low that it prevents the composition from sealing the root canal effectively and/or for sufficient lengths of time. Under such circumstances, the temporary root canal sealer composition is rendered ineffective as a radio-opaque sealer.
  • the average molecular weight, M n , of the water-soluble polymer may be determined by any method for determining the distribution in molecular weight of a macromolecule. Typical methods include size exclusion chromatographic techniques such as gel permeation chromatography or gel filtration chromatography, as well as mass spectrometric techniques such as electrospray mass spectrometry or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation spectroscopy, and/or viscosity measurements. Mass spectrometric techniques such as electrospray mass spectrometry or matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation spectroscopy are particularly preferred for the determination of the average molecular weight, M n , of the water-soluble polymer.

  • the temporary root canal sealer composition may comprise a single hydroxide or a mixture of two or more hydroxides of an alkali earth metal or an alkali metal. It is preferred to use hydroxides of a metal having a high atom number. Accordingly, the temporary root canal sealer composition preferably comprises 10 to 20 wt% of calcium hydroxide.

  • the temporary root canal sealer composition comprises water in an amount of from 20 to 30 wt%.
  • the temporary root canal sealer composition has insufficient plasticity so as to be effective at sealing and maintaining the sterility of a given root canal cavity. Moreover, if a lower weight percent of water is employed in the temporary root canal sealer composition, the consistency and homogeneity of the resulting temporary root canal sealer composition is decreased, such that the composition is rendered unsuitable for use as a sealer or sterilant. The reduced plasticity, consistency and homogeneity of such composition also render it unsuitable for use as visualizing agents in combination with X-ray radiation.

  • the humectant is employed in the above defined general proportions, the moisture inherent to the temporary root canal sealer composition is retained during use of the temporary root canal sealer composition even if the package is left to stand in an open state for more than 6 hours. Accordingly, the temporary root canal sealer composition is effectively prevented from solidifying or becoming so viscous that the plasticity, consistency and homogeneity of the resulting temporary root canal sealer composition is decreased, thereby rendering the temporary root canal sealer composition unsuitable for use as a sealer, sterilant or visualizing material. Moreover, it is not advantageous to employ greater amounts of humectant than specified above, since this lowers the viscosity and, hence, the sealing capabilities of the temporary root canal sealer composition.
